(1,296 posts)I mean, there are such things as people who hate men. Just as there are such things as people who make false accusations of rape, or claim their daddies abused them when they didn't. They are not nonexistent. It's just that these things are not the real problem we need to deal with. So if somebody dismisses any of the above issues, and someone responds with "but they exist!", the correct answer is "so what?" I mean, virgin births also exist, they're medically possible. That doesn't mean we have to debate the possibility every single time there's an unintended pregnancy. It's not sufficiently relevant. It's like bringing the chance of being struck by a meteor into a gun debate, or arguing that we have to stay in Afghanistan because it might be invaded by China.
